“If you don’t know the work of Manchester-based playwright Chris Thorpe, you should, because he is one of the UK’s most thoughtful theatre-makers, tackling subjects and issues that others shy away from.”
Nuclear weapons could destroy us all, right now - so why aren't we talking about them?
Sometimes the threat slides into view – Russia invades Ukraine – but that doesn’t make the weapons more dangerous. They’re always dangerous. And one day, deliberately or accidentally, they’ll be used again.
From the team that created the award-winning Status and Confirmation, comes a show about a new nuclear weapons treaty – one that’s trying to give the power to eliminate nuclear weapons to the states, and people, who don’t possess them.
It’s a show and a conversation. We’ll talk about where we are, where we live, and why it’s important people like us talk about this at all.
